Ingredients

200 ml water
45 ml olive oil plus extra for brushing
360 g Strong white bread flour
1 tsp salt
7.5 ml S&P dried yeast
10 g S&P flour improver
poppy seeds coarse seat salt, freshly ground black pepper for coating (optional)

Instructions

Pour the water and olive oil into the bread machine pan. Add the yeast. Sprinkle on the flour, flour improver and salt.
Set the bread machine to the dough setting. Press start.
Lightly oil two baking sheets. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6.
When the dough cycle has finished, remove the dough from the machine onto a lightly floured surface and gently knock back. Roll it out to a 23 x 20cm rectangle.
Cut into three 20cm long strips. Cut each strip widthways into 10. Roll and stretch each piece to 20-30cm.
Space well apart on the baking sheets. Brush with olive oil, cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for 10-15 minutes.
Sprinkle with poppy seeds, coarse salt, or freshly ground black pepper if liked. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
TIP: if you are using sea salt, don’t use too much as it can overpower the taste. Serve with your favourite soup.
If you like, you can refresh them in a hot oven for a few minutes just before serving.
